Restriction Code for Nokia 6230

Read this for a detailed explanation. If something's unclear, don't try anything — come back and ask more questions here. You only have 5 tries to unlock it, so you don't want to waste any.

 

nichelle, you're welcome!

"+": Hit the star key twice rapidly
"p": Hit the star key three times rapidly
"w": Hit the star key four times rapidly.

Give a two-second pause between entering the "+", "p" and "w" characters. So you would go something like this:
#, *, *, *, delay, *, *, *, *, delay, *, *, numbers, *, *, 1. At this point you want to double-check your code, before finally hitting the last pound sign (on an off chance the phone will process the code without waiting for the press of the undo button).

 

Glad to hear that!

 

i dont know how old this forum is but ive got the same problem and I was hoping I could get some help. I have a nokia 6230 but a different IMEI. Can you help me get the code or help me find the calculator dmapr?

 

Here is a site with the calculators & a forum in case you need the number generated.

Unlockme, Free Nokia Unlocking - Unlock Code Calculator - Tutorial

 

well, i got the program and unfortunately I couldnt get the codes to work. Ive used 4 of my tries (I hope I only used 4) and I cant seem to get it. Any other advice?

 

Download the Crux Calculator v5. Before using the calculator and trying any more codes, do *#0000# on your phone and post the firmware information displayed. Also, what country/carrier is the phone locked to?

 

my info reads
Nokia 6230
v 05.34
23-03-05
RH-28
GSM P1.1
(c) NMP

and when I press down it gives me V 05.34
23-03-05
RH12_20_-
GSM P1.1

Also, im US and my carrier is cingular.

thanks again for taking time to help me out.

 

Looks to be a 6230b, but earlier version than what I was reading about. Here's a code I calculated based on the IMEI you PMed me. Do not enter this code, first check to see if it matches the code #7 from the set you generated on your own. If it does, then chances are your firmware was using an older algorithm and we need to seek out information on unlocking that. If it does not... I guess I would proceed, but I'd be sure to read this beforehand.

You only have a couple of tries left, so I'd be extra careful. Where did you calculate your codes and with what settings?

Hi guys, sorry to bother you with this - I've got one try left. My 6230 details:

I'm in the UK, I want to use my new 3 (Hutchison) SIM but the phone was with O2 - does that mean I'm meant to put 3 into the calculator rather than O2? I've been using 3, the codes I've been getting are:

Model: Nokia (DCT4 )
IMEI:
Network: 23420000

#pw+358 236 577 674 741+1#
#pw+725 330 547 335 642+2#
#pw+187 144 701 503 650+3#
#pw+857 851 075 550 762+4#
#pw+153 354 572 175 264+5#
#pw+152 044 076 062 755+6#
#pw+743 890 460 120 606+7#

These are the same for the downloaded calculator (3.10) and for the online one.

Hope you can help, cheers -Matt

P.S. I've tried codes 1# and 7#

 

Matt,

if the phone was originally with O2, then you need to put O2 in the calculator, not 3.

 

Thanks for that advice, unfortunately I had another two goes using numbers #1 and #7 of the new set of codes but neither of them worked. I'm 99% sure that I got 6 attempts rather than 5 however before the phone was permanently restricted, so hopefully that could be something useful that came out of this. Everyone knows these procedures are a risk but I'm glad it's worked for some.

Cheers, Matt
